Hi, I download all types of files and I prefer to sort my files into folders based on type. For example, I have a folder for installation files, so I would like to be able to set the DEFAULT download location for .exe files to "C:/users/%username%/downloads/setup files". I would like to do the same for ISO files: default save location is the "downloads/disk images" folder.

There's no built-in way to do this. You could check on the Add-ons site to see whether this is an existing feature of any of the many download-related extension there. Unfortunately, these may include unnecessary or unwanted features as well, so shop carefully...

As a short term workaround, the Windows 7 Libraries feature might at least save a little time in quickly navigating to those folders.

I have been using Automatic Save Folder. Read the instructions CAREFULLY.
